Description Max Rydahl Andersen CLA 2006-05-04 02:35:06 EDT 
We have "Show selected type only" feature (which is both loved and hated ;)

I suggest this feature is enhanced with the option of when you click on this element and the underlying text is part of the extends or implements then it should not show the complete class; but only the methods that originates from the extended class or implemented interface.

Then it suddenly becomes *really* usable since you can look at a class in the perspective of the interface/class contract.

Please provide more details. Are you talking about "Show Selected Element Only" button which is in the tool bar, or something different?
Comment 3 Max Rydahl Andersen CLA 2006-05-04 02:49:58 EDT 
yes, show selected element only.

What does "Resolved remind" mean ?
Comment 4 Dani Megert CLA 2006-05-04 02:53:23 EDT 
We usually use this when we need more info.

e.g., what does "... when you click on this element" mean? Where? What element?
Comment 5 Max Rydahl Andersen CLA 2006-05-04 03:03:48 EDT 
Ok, now with details:

Imagine opening e.g. JavaEditor that has the following signature/declaration:

public abstract class JavaEditor extends AbstractDecoratedTextEditor implements IViewPartInputProvider {
...

Then today when your cursor is on the declaration it will just show the complete class.

What I suggest is that if the cursor is on "AbstractDecoratedTextEditor" then show the class; but only with the AbstractDecoratedTextEditor inherited methods and similar for IViewPartInputProvider if the cursor was on "IViewPartInputProvider"

.
Comment 7 Dani Megert CLA 2006-05-04 03:17:44 EDT 
To summarize: when the 'Show Selected Element Only' tool bar button is pressed it should not show the enclosing element if the caret/selection is on a type declaration's superclass or interface but instead show the members define by the selected superclass/interface.
Comment 8 Max Rydahl Andersen CLA 2006-05-04 03:23:04 EDT 
Correct.
